I love those post-Soviet eastern Euro countries. Azerbaijan (Baku) is a country on the Caspian Sea. They have alot of economic potential due to the Caspian Sea oil pipeline.

Close to Iran, but TOTALLY secular. In fact, in fron of the Iranian Bank AND a Mosque is a statue of a woman throwing down her veil! It’s a country with a young population. Very friendly. Unique.

Going back in the spring.
